• B. Large front teeth- For chewing grass
• C. Short front teeth- For snipping grass
• D. Short and sharp teeth on sides- For chewing grass

Answer 1

The correct option is C Short front teeth- For snipping grass

Adaptation is the process which enables organisms to adjust to the environment. Cows mainly consume grass and other plants. The teeth in cows are adapted so that they can easily diet on grass. They have short front teeth for snipping or cutting grass. The large and wide teeth on their sides are for chewing the grass.
